Spain

Join us in an adventure into the history, culture, and language of Spain. This intensive language and cultural experience will be a unique and unforgettable opportunity to touch, see, and experience history. The Spain you will experience is a constantly changing society that has grown out of centuries of migrations, conquests, and re-conquests involving Basques, Celts, Iberians, Jews, Romans, Visigoths, Arabs, and others who have made Spain their home. From the Roman ruins, Islamic mosques, and Gothic Cathedrals to the modern icons of Gaudi and Picasso, Spain is recognized for its passionate, proud, and diverse culture.
